Apps that ship with OpenNVR
Every deployment opens the same catalog. These 13 are first-party and install with one compose command; anything you build gets listed the same way, by a pull request against a public index.
An app never names an adapter. It declares the tasks it needs, and any adapter advertising one satisfies it — which is why swapping a plate reader for a better plate reader touches no app code. Each card below resolves its tasks against the adapters that exist today.

Your app belongs here too
The SDK is Apache-2.0, so ship under any licence you like, closed included. OpenNVR takes no fee on app sales — you get the licence hook and the platform stays out of the transaction. Getting listed is a pull request against this index, not a partnership call.
